bottle. small tan fizzy head (quickly and almost fully dissapating) head into murky bronze body. pretty decent lacing. aroma is moderate citrus hops and moderate caramel...something else there that I can’t decipher. flavor is bitter throughout. flat carbonation. long finish duration. dry texture. not a bad IPA.

May 31, 2008 I had the old version a while ago. I remember it to be rather unremarkable, I remember thinking: are they sure this is an IPA? Overall, I’d say I thought it was average.

May 30, 2008 Bottle. I am a little confused. Is this the new or old version. it is 4.7 ABV and 36 IBU so none of the desciption on ratebeer matches. BB 03.08.
Creamy white excellent mostly lasting head. Orange-yellow colour. Light malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Flowers and herbs present. Harsh bitter flavor. Long harsh bitter finish. Creamy palate. Not my style but nice.

May 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with medium white head. Good hoppy aroma with fresh fruits and grass dominating. Flavour is hoppy too but it lacks the freshness. Dry bitter end.
Defreni (447), Frederiksberg, Denmark
May 24, 2008 Flaske. Fin citrus duft på en klar lys ravfarvet øl. Smagen er domineret af bitterhed allerede i starten, hvilket gør at den bliver noget endimensionel og kedelig. Det eneste andet der svagt kommer frem er en smule malt. Ikke så vellykket, men kan dog drikkes.
